2025 marked a transformative year for SIMTEK, as we took a major step forward in strengthening our digital manufacturing ecosystem with the addition of two world-class CAM solutions — GibbsCAM and Cimatron. These strategic partnerships represent far more than a portfolio expansion. They reflect SIMTEK’s unwavering commitment to empowering manufacturers, toolmakers, and industrial innovators with the most advanced, reliable, and future-ready technologies available globally.
In a rapidly evolving manufacturing landscape, the need for precision, speed, automation, and digital continuity has never been greater. With GibbsCAM and Cimatron now part of the SIMTEK family, we are uniquely positioned to deliver a truly end-to-end manufacturing workflow — from design and simulation all the way to machining and tooling.
This milestone reinforces SIMTEK’s role as not just a software reseller, but a strategic technology partner for India’s manufacturing growth.
Why 2025 Was the Right Time for This Expansion
Over the last few years, Indian manufacturing has undergone a powerful transformation. Customers across automotive, aerospace, industrial machinery, consumer products, and precision engineering are demanding:
- Faster time to market
- Higher machining accuracy
- Greater automation
- Reduced material waste
- Better utilization of CNC machines
- Digital integration between design and production
SIMTEK has always been at the forefront of this evolution, providing industry-leading solutions in CAD, PLM, simulation, and digital collaboration. However, as more customers looked to digitally connect their design teams with their shop floors, the need for advanced CAM and tooling solutions became increasingly clear.
The addition of GibbsCAM and Cimatron fills this critical gap and enables SIMTEK to offer a complete digital manufacturing ecosystem — one that supports the entire product lifecycle, from concept to finished part.
Introducing GibbsCAM – Powering CNC Machining Excellence
GibbsCAM is globally recognized as one of the most reliable and efficient CAM systems for CNC programming and machining. Used by thousands of manufacturers worldwide, it is trusted for its speed, flexibility, and machining accuracy.
With GibbsCAM, CNC programmers and production teams gain access to:
- Advanced 2-axis to 5-axis machining
- Multi-tasking and mill-turn operations
- Automated toolpath generation
- Collision detection and verification
- Faster setup and reduced programming time
For manufacturers, this translates into:
- Reduced cycle times
- Improved machine utilization
- Fewer errors and rework
- Higher throughput on the shop floor
By integrating GibbsCAM into SIMTEK’s portfolio, we now empower customers to seamlessly move from SOLIDWORKS and 3DEXPERIENCE designs directly into production-ready CNC programs — accelerating the journey from digital model to physical product.
Introducing Cimatron – The Gold Standard for Tooling and Mold Making
While GibbsCAM strengthens CNC machining, Cimatron brings unmatched capabilities to tooling, mold, and die manufacturing. It is widely regarded as the industry’s leading CAD-CAM solution for mold makers and toolrooms.
Cimatron provides:
- Advanced mold and die design tools
- Automated electrode creation
- High-speed machining strategies
- Core, cavity, and parting surface workflows
- Integrated CAD and CAM for tooling
For toolmakers and mold manufacturers, this means:
- Shorter design-to-production cycles
- Fewer design errors
- Better surface quality
- Faster delivery to customers
With Cimatron, SIMTEK now serves not only product manufacturers, but also the tooling backbone of India’s manufacturing ecosystem — the mold makers and toolrooms that drive quality, consistency, and innovation across industries.
One Unified Manufacturing Ecosystem
With the addition of GibbsCAM and Cimatron, SIMTEK now offers something truly powerful:
a complete, digitally connected manufacturing workflow.
Our customers can now rely on SIMTEK for:
| Stage | Technology |
|---|---|
| Product Design | SOLIDWORKS |
| Product Lifecycle | 3DEXPERIENCE |
| Simulation & Validation | SIMULIA |
| CNC Programming | GibbsCAM |
